Great work on this. We're actually moving in a similar direction at Serverless with full Cloudformation support in our current development branch for all the reasons you listed. Would love to chat sometime, email is in my account page.

FWIW, I've been using serverless the last couple of weeks and I find the request-response parameter mapping absolutely maddening.

Most of us have become used to frameworks like express for specifying our routes and manually specifying API gateway rules feels like a huge step backwards.

Messing with Gordon now, but I've messed with nearly every other serverless framework. If you're looking for something express-y then you might like claudia.js's ApiBuilder, but the underlying API Gateway is always the lowest common denominator so this just adds some prettiness on top. https://github.com/claudiajs/claudia
